Kangwon Land has announced its business performance for the first half of 2026, solidifying its position as an integrated resort. According to public filings, the company recorded approximately 780 billion won in revenue during the first half of this year, showing steady year-on-year growth. This is attributed to stable casino operations and the positive reception of recently enhanced non-casino content by visitors.

Background of Performance Growth

This growth is analyzed as part of the 'Integrated Resort Competitiveness Enhancement Plan' currently being pursued by Kangwon Land. In particular, the utilization rates of non-casino facilities, such as lodging and water parks, have increased, diversifying the revenue structure. Kangwon Land is focusing on strengthening internal operations through digital transformation to enhance customer convenience and the implementation of efficient entry management systems.

Strategic Steps Toward Integrated Resort Transformation

Kangwon Land is accelerating its transition into a stay-type integrated resort that offers more than just casino facilities, catering to family tourists. The modernization project for resort facilities is scheduled to begin in earnest in the second half of 2026, with plans to further increase connectivity with the local tourism industry.

Regional Coexistence and Economic Impact

Kangwon Land's growth is directly linked to the revitalization of the Gangwon regional economy. The company has established a mutual growth model with the local community, including job creation and the utilization of local agricultural products. Recently, it has expanded collaboration programs with local small business owners. These efforts are viewed as fulfilling the role of a public institution that promotes sustainable development for the local community beyond simple corporate profit generation.

Strengthening Responsible Gambling and Addiction Prevention

Alongside its revenue growth, Kangwon Land is significantly strengthening campaigns to establish a culture of responsible gambling. As of July 2026, the Kangwon Land KLACC (Kangwon Land Casino Addiction Management Center) has increased its counseling services and prevention education for visitors by more than 20% compared to the previous year.

Advancing Addiction Prevention Systems

Kangwon Land operates an AI-based abnormal betting detection system to identify users showing signs of gambling addiction early and connect them with immediate counseling. Additionally, the company conducts regular education for users to foster a healthy gaming culture and takes the lead in informing the public about the negative impacts of gambling addiction on individuals and families. This is emphasized as a corporate social responsibility that must be prioritized for the healthy development of the casino industry.
